MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Acuity
Solutions, provider of BluVector®,
a next-generation machine-learning malware detection and cyber
hunting solution, today announced that after a rigorous application and
due diligence process the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
granted BluVector a DHS SAFETY Act Designation.

The “Support Anti-Terrorism By Fostering Effective Technologies Act of
2002” (SAFETY Act) Designation was issued by DHS after close review of
BluVector’s processes and technology. The designation provides liability
protections for the manufacturers, sellers, and users of qualified
anti-terrorism technologies, but only after satisfying specific
technical and economic criteria.

“BluVector is honored to receive the SAFETY Act Designation from the
DHS,” said Kris Lovejoy, president and chief executive of Acuity
Solutions, provider of BluVector. “Designation is another accomplishment
that I believe further validates BluVector’s position as a new leader in
the cyber defense movement.”

“Obtaining Designation under the DHS Safety Act is rare in the security
market, and it is rarer still to see any cyber security product outside
anti-virus tested by a third party validation for efficacy,” said Adrian
Sanabria, Senior Security Analyst at 451 Research. “BluVector is
one of only five cyber security products to have achieved some level of
attestation with the Safety Act in a market with hundreds of vendors.”

Built upon its patented machine learning and cutting edge cyber hunting
capabilities, BluVector provides enterprises with faster, more accurate
malware detection, helping security analysts to quickly identify
previously undetected threats to their networks.With the newly
released BluVector

appliance on their environment, through a groundbreaking new automated
machine learning capability.

BluVector easily integrates with organizations’ existing security
solutions, including security information and event management (SIEM),
threat intelligence data feeds and portals, to deliver game changing
malware detection and alerting capabilities. BluVector delivers
significantly improved speed, accuracy and cost-efficiency to
enterprises, helping them stay ahead of threats and can dramatically
reduce both the number of successful attacks and the millions of dollars
spent each year hunting and remediating security breaches.
